Abstract (en)

A method for operating a robot includes detecting a plurality of cavities in a structure. The detection of the plurality of cavities in the structure include operating a 3D sensor to obtain 3D point cloud data of the structure; analyzing the 3D point cloud data at a lower dimensionality to eliminate irregularities; performing boundary detection of the 3D point cloud data at the lower dimensionality; and performing a multi-cavity detection of the 3D point cloud data to detect the plurality of cavities. The robot may be directed to a cavity of the plurality of cavities. A robotic operation may be performed on the cavity using the robot.
